🚨 Crypto Bloodbath: Bitcoin Plunges Below $115K, $400M Liquidated as Macro Fears Roil Markets | Aug 19, 2025

Macro tremors send crypto into freefall

Bitcoin sliced through $115K like a hot knife through butter—dragging the entire market down with it. Over $400 million in leveraged positions got vaporized in minutes as traders scrambled to cover margin calls. The usual suspects (inflation jitters, Fed whispers, and that one hedge fund manager who still thinks crypto is a 'fraud') fueled the sell-off.

Altcoins bled harder than a Netflix fantasy show

Ethereum, Solana, and BNB got caught in the downdraft—dropping 12-18% while Bitcoin dominance crept up. Meme coins? Forget about it. The 'when Lambo' crowd is now asking 'where food stamps.'

Silver lining for diamond hands?

History says these shakeouts create buying opportunities... assuming you've got the stomach for it. Meanwhile, Wall Street banks are already drafting 'I told you so' press releases—between martini lunches at Soho House.
